[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no scenario where it was ok for the grandparents to yell at an 8yo who was trying to help.

Good thing that never happened here.[/quote]

That is exactly what happened. [/quote]

Are you OP? Care to describe at what point yelling actually occurred?[/quote]

OP said they yelled at the kid. If you don’t believe her then why bother engaging on this thread?

Oh. Are you one of those insecure posters who just attacks the OP for fun? Gross. 
[/quote]
OP did not say yelling occurred. She said her dad called HER and asked the kid to just stop. Kid called grandma and grandma “lectured “ him. OPs 8 year old described his grandparent “yelling” at him, but there is nothing in the post that demonstrates the grandparents actually yelled at the kid.

For all the DCUMers who misuse the world gaslighting, this poster is actually gaslighting. They are deliberately misrepresenting/lying about OPs post to get a reaction.  [/quote]

Clearly, you don’t know the definition either.  :lol:

It’s not “misrepresenting” or “lying” when I actually quoted the OP. 
[i]“DS is really hurt that my parents yelled at him and were "unkind". ”[/i]
[/quote]
You are absolutely purposely misrepresenting and providing the one and only line in the whole post where the word “yelling” was used without the context. No where in the post was it said the the kid ever talked to grandpa, so how could grandpa have “yelled” at him? [/quote]

WTF? I literally quoted the OP.

“DS is really hurt that my parents yelled at him and were "unkind". “[/quote]
Yup, and you took the one line that used the word “yelled” without the context of the rest of the novel
OP (or you) wrote. You still haven’t addressed the point made several times that the kid never talked to grandpa, so how could he have “yelled” at the kid? And knowing that grandpa never spoke to the kid, it makes the throwaway line that “my parents yelled at him” worthless because we know that can’t be true since the kid never talked to grandpa. See how that works? [/quote]

Quoting the OP - in her own words - is not misrepresenting anything. It’s not my fault that you didn’t read the whole post.

They were all talking to each other over text and FaceTime. OP said they yelled. If you don’t believe her then why engage on this thread. 
[/quote]
Nope, even taking the OPs words in that one line verbatim it wasn’t that they yelled generally, it was that they “yelled at him” meaning the kid. The kid never talked to grandpa, so grandpa couldn’t have yelled at him.[/quote]

I’m just going by what OP wrote instead of making stuff up. 
[/quote]

Right, like a conversation between DS and Grandpa which included yelling? No need to dig your heels in on that. OP included all the detailed conversations except that one. So you either have to conclude it never happened or imagine a conversation completely left out in the OP which this happened where OP mentioned just once with no support. Either way you're going beyond what's in the OP. The vast majority are concluding it never happened given OPs propensity to write long winded novels sparing no detail. Odd that she would leave out the precise details of when yelling occurred and what was said.[/quote]

No, I am going by [u]exactly[/u] what OP wrote. You are interpreting what she wrote and drawing your own conclusions.

OP explicitly said her parents yelled at the kid and were “unkind”, which is why he was upset.

Guess you should have read her whole post before going off on her.
